We promote cancer screening for cervical, colon and breast cancer. All people with a cervix between the ages of 25 and 70 should be screened, once they are sexually active. Pap smears are offered in clinic and is on an appointment basis. Please try to ensure you are not on your menstrual period at the time of your visit. The normal processing time for results to come back is around 2-3 weeks but may be up to 4 weeks. Starting March 3, 2025, HPV tests will replace the current cytology pap smear. While the procedure remains the same, the new test is a more sensitive and accurate way to detect cervical cancer.  For more information please see: Cancer Care Ontario

Our team encourages patients aged 50 to 74 to undergo regular colon screening. Patients may choose to use the FIT test, which your doctor can send to your home or self register for a colonoscopy.

Our team also encourages mammography for breast cancer screening. Women aged 50 to 74 are encouraged to self register for a mammography at their local Ontario Breast Screening Program location.
